December Pickups
I believe this may be the first thread I've ever started - big day for me!
As some of you know, I've been going through my parents house, finding stuff I haven't seen in years -- although I found this awhile ago, I haven't posted it -- A Willie Mays Peanuts strip that Charles Schulz sent to my mother back in the 70s (I've blocked out the address). Also a sharp Dale Long glove and a new Long bat for my collection -- it's his 1956 All Star Game bat -- the year he set the record with home runs in eight consecutive games.

That Peanuts strip is cool, esp. with a baseball theme, the original mailing envelope, etc! That's not the original drawing of the strip, is it? Now THAT would be something!

Scott -- it's actually Schulz's file copy of the strip -- I've included a tighter shot here.
And Shoeless Moe -- thanks for combining threads! Greg |

The Peanuts strip is great, particularly with the letter from Mr. Schulz. Very nice item. At some point, original baseball comic strips deserve their own thread here. Max

1903 Scorebook with Cuban Giants games
Picked up another scorebook with a couple of Negro Cuban Giants barnstorming games along with games against the Chicago Cubs, the Chicago White Sox, a Spalding team and several dozen more games against local teams. This was the official scorebook for the Corning, NY team which, apparently, was a local powerhouse. The scorebook was a gift from the Spalding Company to the local newspaper reporter.
I've got another scorebook for the 1904 Norwich, NY team which also has a couple of games against these same Cuban Giants. The Giants must have hit every small town, several times, in New York during that time period. Rob M. Cover.jpg Cuban Giants game 2.jpg |
